Star Wars Games: X-wing Fighter game

Alright, so this is basically a stripped-down, browser-friendly X-wing dogfight sim. You jump into Poe's cockpit, BB-8 beeps at you from the dashboard, and suddenly you're weaving through First Order TIE fighters like it's the climax of The Force Awakens. The controls are simple—arrow keys to move, spacebar to blast—but those TIE fighters come at you fast.

What surprised me was the upgrade system. You earn credits after each run, and suddenly you're agonizing over whether to boost your shields first or save up for that sweet quad laser upgrade. The first time I took down a Star Destroyer's turrets with fully upgraded engines? Felt like an actual Resistance pilot for about three seconds before I crashed into an asteroid.

It's not Star Wars: Squadrons, but for a quick browser game, the sound effects alone—those iconic blaster noises, BB-8's frantic chirping—make it weirdly satisfying between meetings. Just don't expect Rogue Squadron-level depth.
